Madonna, 51, along with her manager Guy Oseary, snapped up shares of New York-based company Vita Coco, which sells the latest trendy beverage across the U.S.

And they are so taken with the juice made from young, green coconuts that they have rounded up stars including Matthew McConaughey, Demi Moore, and Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis to maker smaller investments.

Madge, who is famed for her strict healthy lifestyle, reportedly made the coconut juice her favourite thirst-quencher while performing on her tour last year, and she was keen to get involved with the brand before it hit the mainstream.

Russell Brand wants to marry girlfriend/singer Katy Perry naked.

The comedian joked that he would even like the guests to come in the buff.

“We are going to do the wedding naked! All the families will be naked!” Sydney Morning Herald quoted him as telling People magazine.

He added: “We’re still deciding what to do. There’s no juicy details yet. All my dream weddings don’t make sense.

“The vicar will start melting. The people in the front row will turn into people from my school. And then everyone will only say the word ‘potato’.”

However, Brand is looking forward to walking down the aisle with Perry.

He said: “I’m getting married to a beautiful woman. I’m enjoying my work. What could be better? Nothing!”

The Bridget Jones’s Diary star, who plays the role of George Falconer, a homosexual college professor, in A Single Man, revealed there were still “invisible boundaries” set for gay artists.

“There might be risks for a gay actor coming out. The politics of that are quite complex, it seems to me,” the Telegraph quoted him as saying at the film’s UK premiere in London.

“If you’re known as a straight guy, playing a gay role, you get rewarded for that. If you’re a gay man and you want to play a straight role, you don’t get cast - and if a gay man wants to play a gay role now, you don’t get cast.

Rumors of engagement started making rounds after the 34 year old updated her page on social networking site Facebook to read “I’m Engaged”, reports The Daily Star.

The posting followed the couple’s red carpet appearance both at the Golden Globes and SAG Awards in January (10).

However, Barrymore’s spokesperson insists the He’s Just Not That Into You co-stars are not set to be wed, telling E! News the reports are “not true”.

As rumours of Hollywood couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie breaking-up picks momentum, a handwriting expert has said that an autograph the actress recently gave a fan shows she is under stress.

The couple appeared more affectionate than usual at the Directors Guild of America Awards on January 30, but expert Sheila Lowe has revealed that the long extended final stroke of Jolie’s last name in the autograph “can add up to feeling pressured, with a need to protect oneself”.

“Hers has always been an extremely simplified signature, and this one is even more so. It’s like shorthand. It could be a result of stress, the need to keep things on the surface and simple,” Us magazine quoted Lowe as saying.

“The extremely long, rightward ending stroke is symbolic of holding others at bay. Think of an outstretched arm: Stand back!” she said, adding that signatures can be more difficult to decipher when written quickly.

Similarly, Patti Stanger of Bravo’s Millionaire Matchmaker, recently said that Jolie “shows possessiveness and a desire not to lose Brad…but defensive [body language] in case she does”.

Bart Baggett, creator of the Handwriting Wizard, says Jolie’s signature has “large beginning letters, which indicates confidence and a healthy ego”.

He compared her signature to one from 2006, toward the beginning of her relationship with Pitt.

“She has learned the art of compromise and has more humility than before,” he said.

“The angles, the analytical, masculine qualities are less. She has more feminine, supportive handwriting.

‘I am an admirer of films made by Satyajit Ray, specially ‘Pather Panchali’. I have been to India in the mid-1980s,’ Cox told mediapersons here.

He is here for the screening of a selection of films from his country that began Monday. He has chosen nine Scotish films which will be screened at the Nandan film complex. Out of them, two star Cox himself and one is his directorial venture called ‘Jute Journey’.

‘It was very difficult to choose the nine films. It as as if I was choosing between my children,’ he said.

Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle’s ‘Trainspotting’ has also been included in the bouquet.

Cox is known for his work with the Royal Shakespeare Company where he gained great recognition for the portrayal of King Lear. He also played King Agamemnon in Hollywood movie ‘Troy’.

British Council and Nandan is hosting the four-day film fest as part of a cultural cooperation between India and the United Kingdom.

Tahir Hussain, well-known filmmaker and Bollywood star Aamir Khan’s father, died of a massive heart attack here Tuesday morning, sources close to the family said.

He is survived by his wife and two sons, Aamir and Faisal, and two daughters, Farhat and Nikhat.

Hussain is known for producing hits like ‘Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke’ (1993) that starred son Aamir, ‘Dulha Bikta Hai’ (1982), ‘Zakhmee’ (1975), ‘Anamika’ (1973) and ‘Caravan’ (1971).

In 1990, he made his directorial debut with ‘Tum Mere Ho’ with Aamir and Juhi Chawla.

Family sources said Hussain died at Aamir’s residence in Bandra. Aamir and his wife Kiran are in the US for the Sundance Festival and are taking the first flight home. Hussain’s grandson, Imran Khan, who made his debut with ‘Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’, is in New Zealand and will also be coming back.

Earlier, In Touch tabloid had reported that the pair is “talking about tying the knot within the next few weeks!”

“That’s so crazy. It’s nuts the stuff that’s made up,” Us magazine quoted Cooper as saying.

Actor Johnny Depp has come to the defence of Roman Polanski, who is facing extradition to the US on child sex charges, insisting the director is not a predator.

The Oscar-winning filmmaker pleaded guilty to a charge of unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977, but fled the States before his sentence could be passed. He was arrested in Zurich last year and placed under house arrest in Switzerland. Last month, a Los Angeles judge ruled he must return to the US to face sentencing.

But Depp, who collaborated with the 76-year-old on the 1999 thriller ‘The Ninth Gate’, insists prosecutors should take Polanski’s current home life into consideration and let the 32-year-old charges go, reported imdb.com

‘Roman is not a predator. He is 75 or 76 years old. He has got two beautiful kids, he has got a wife that he has been with for a long, long time. He is not out on the street,’ said Depp.

Battlestar Galactica's Lucy Lawless finally bares it all for her role as Lucretia, the rapacious wife of John Hannah's Batiatus, in Starz's upcoming Spartacus: Blood and Sand, and she's not shy about it. At all.

"It's a way of telling the audience, 'You ain't in Kansas anymore,'" Lawless said in a conference call Wednesday. "It certainly jolts you into a new reality where people had completely different relationships to their bodies and other human beings. Slavery, different attitudes to sexuality, prostitution, you name it. They thought of things differently, but essentially human beings haven't evolved so very much, so you're still able to relate to them."

The hourlong drama is a new take on the story of a Roman gladiator who eventually leads a slave rebellion against Rome itself. A kind of mixture of HBO's Rome and Zack Snyder's 300, the show is notable in part for introducing us to Lawless in the buff, beginning with the second episode. But there's a reason for it, she assures us.

"In fact, all of us, the actors and writers, are very serious about what we do," she said. "We do not want one single thing to be gratuitous. It's not what we're about. Even when there's a sex scene, in fact there is business being transacted. The scene is about something else; otherwise, it would be on the Playboy Channel. It would be somewhere else. This is not soft porn. It's a bloody good yarn, and you want to be on board."

In her first nude scene, Lucretia and her husband happily discuss political plans while stripping for bed. Meanwhile, off-screen "fluffers" prepare them to consummate. The fluffing is off-screen, but that's still something you've never seen on TV before, said series creator Steven S. DeKnight.

"In the first draft it was written they were engaged in the act and having this conversation," DeKnight said during the conference call. "[Executive producer and Lawless' husband] Rob [Tapert] felt like this is something we could see anywhere in TV. How can we make it different for our show? There were a lot of extremely graphic, crazy suggestions thrown out that I can't even repeat on the phone. They shocked even me, but, finally, I really started thinking about it, and I thought this first scene really needs to set up the master/slave relationship. Why not use that in the sexual connotation and actually have them be fluffers, but not just the woman fluffer for the guy, but also have a fluffer for the woman? It's interesting, because the way it's shot, you really don't see anything with the fluffing going on, but it's the implication that just makes it extremely racy."

There is even more outrageous debauchery to come, Lawless promised. "They would have conversations while I'm in a bath with slaves," she said. "So naturally you are in a state of undress, but there is something going on in the scene that is more riveting than me."

Oh yeah?

"I will say with regards to the nudity, you get kind of used to it," Lawless said. "It's historically accurate that there are slaves standing around in states of undress, and after a while it becomes a non-issue. It loses its taboo, and it's irrelevant to your day."

The 28-year-old reality TV star made the announcement on her Twitter page.

Singapore born star said "Ok I will adop (sic) 2 children from HAITI....I'm going to try to do that ASAP! Those poor babies! Mommy is coming to rescue u (sic) my Angels! Xoxox."

"I am going to have 2 biological babies of my own, then adopt 3 other babies who need a home! TILA FOR PRESIDENT!!!! For real. I LOVE TO LOVE," she added.

Meanwhile, rapper Game claims that he's not the father of Tequila's unborn child.

However, she lashed out and said he will be proved wrong once a paternity test is completed when the child is born.

"Game, I don't need to bicker and fight with you love, when I know a lot of shady things about you, that I can sell you out on but I'm not," she said.

"You know damn straight everything you said in that video [an interview in which he denies he is the father] is a lie! Why would you do that? But I don't even care.

"Just wait nine months for my paternity test. I'm not worried about it. Game has nine months to live out all of his fun lies. Live it up baby! Nine months from now, it's the big paternity test day! Now that doesn't lie, unlike you, sir," she added.
